An opportunity for a 6+ PQE commercial technology lawyer looking for a step up: a role reporting to CEO that would be a stepping stone towards Head of Legal / GC positions.
Hi there this is Mila Read from Found Legal, a specialist recruitment agency where we focus on hiring in-house technology lawyers.
My client is a UK headquartered global B2B Tech company (ca.
300 employees).
They are looking to hire a Sole / Senior Legal Counsel in London to report to CEO.
The role is responsible for the Legal function in the UK and its main focus in sales support / commercial tech contracts for this software and IT services business.
I believe this is a great in-between role if you would like to become a GC in the future: — It is a Sole Counsel position, but the business has already had a very competent in-house lawyer, so the core legal and compliance structures are well established; — You will be closely supporting the company's leadership team and the board and work directly with the founders (it's a hybrid role with 2-3 days a week in the office in London); — The commercial and engineering teams who you will be also supporting are already used to working with an in-house lawyer; — The data protection compliance has already been set up by a lawyer who enjoys DP / Privacy matters; — The company operates internationally, so you'll get exposure to cross-juristictional work and to a variety of cultures, which is essential for a GC; — It is a well established business with corporate household names as clients, so it is a stable and secure environment to grow your skills in; — The role is 75% focused on commercial tech contracts with company's clients, and the rest is generalist matters = an opportunity to develop new areas of expertise; — The company has fantastic culture and the employees including the C Suite are genuinely warm and caring individuals that you will enjoy working with.
